LIVE NOW! Lizzie Broadbent discusses her project 'Women Who Meant Business' which focuses on the commercial aspects of women's lives within the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements. Many were successful entrepreneurs, and perhaps progress in this area has not been linear.

CALL FOR PAPERS ON GOTHIC PRE-RAPHAELITISM! This will be a brilliant project, please share with those who would be interested.

LIVE NOW! A huge welcome to the wonderful comedian and art historian Verity Babbs! Her book 'The History of Art in One Sentence' is available now in all bookshops, reputable, or otherwise. Verity talks us through some of the less serious takes on Pre-Raphaelitism in art history.

LIVE NOW! We are back from our summer break with John Reed discussing his new PhD project, examining how exhibitions shape the critical narratives of the Pre-Raphaelites, through the era of the 'Victorian Avant-Garde' up to the recent 'Victorian Radicals' exhibition.
